"Travis." Katie managed to yell over my screams. "TRAVIS!" One of her siblings came running up to us, must of heard my screams, er sorry my screaming, seeing as I still was screaming. "Go get an Apollo medic." They nodded and ran off down the hill. Katie turned back to me "Travis, calm down, chill-TRAVIS!" I think Katie got tired of my screaming, because she did the unthinkable, the most im[possible thing that has ever happened to me.

She kissed me.

Mouth on mouth. Her lips tasted like the strawberries she had been eating before all this had happened. I was in shock, to say the least. I was on cloud nine. I was interrupted with my happy train of thoughts when the Demeter kid and Will Solace came back. Screw them.

"Umm…Katie whatcha doing?" The Demeter kid said awkwardly. Will just stood there getting the stretcher thingy ready.

"Oh hey Carter thanks for getting Will, I was just giving Travis CPR because he passed out." The Carter kid nodded like this was a good explanation. My mind was still reeling from the fact that I hadn't passed out and that Katie had actually kissed me, and the fact that Katie could lie very well.

Will pulled me up and placed me on the stretcher, "Okay Travis," he said, "this is going to hurt but I have to pop your arm back into its socket."

"No!" I was back to screaming, "-"

"Do you have any sleeping gas?" Katie asked Will.

"Yeah below the stretcher here, but that's only for severe cases." Will answered.

Katie ignored the only for severe cases part and grabbed the mask, "Sorry Travis." She said.

Then she took the mask and shoved it in my face, it reeked of garbage and…mint, yuck. Needless to say I passed out.

The only thing I saw in my unconsciousness was the kiss replayed over and over again from all different views, and each time it made me forget my name, forget my age, forget where I was, basically it was like how Percy described the River of Styx, except nicer…

The only thing I was dreading was waking up and facing Katie and the awkwardness.

When I awoke my head was pounding, my stomach hurt, and I had no clue where I was as seeing it was still all hazy. I blinked a couple of times to try and clear my vision. When it came into focus, I recognized the room. I was in the infirmary, what was this my second time this week? Was karma out to get me?

I sat up and my stomach lurched, I groaned in pain loudly, I did not feel so well. The Apollo kid ran into the room. It was a girl, not that this was strange, but usually the boys worked daytime shifts and the girls worked nighttime shifts. I knew it was still day by the light coming in and casting a glare across the floor.

"Oh" she said, "you're awake." I could hear the contempt in her voice.

"Yeah, I am." I said, trying to figure out why she'd be mad that I was awake.

"So what?" She asked, I arched my eyebrow at her in confusion, "Aren't you going to hit on me like your brother?"

I began to laugh; she glared at me as if to say,"It's not funny".

"What?" She protested.

"You think I'm anything like my brother?" I said still laughing.

"Well considering the two of you are actual brothers, wear the same clothes, talk at the same time, prank together,"

"Okay, okay I get it." I said. "But get this I'm not like my brother in the romance department. That's pretty much the only place we differ."

"Okay. I believe you." Then she turned and began to walk out of the room

"Wait!" I called out.

"Yeah?" She responded.

"Can't I have some ambrosia or nectar for my stomach and head? I'm not feeling too great."

"Sorry," she said, "I'm an Athena kid, the Apollo kids are MIA this morning."

A sickening feeling began to rise in my stomach; this one was almost as bothersome as the actual stomachache. I felt like I was going to be sick any minute.

"But what about Will?" I asked.

"He was on duty here last night."

"Oh."

Just then Katie barged into the cabin. Just seeing her made my stomachache and headache go away.

"I'm here Abby, where is he?" Katie said walking into the cabin; she tossed Abby a brown paper bag.

"Wait," I asked, "how'd you know I was awake?"

Abby and Katie exchanged glances, and had a silent conversation; I'm going to guess that they were debating whether or not to tell me something I shouldn't know.

"Well," Katie began, "she texted me."
That's when I exploded, "What you have phones! I want a phone! But wait that attracts monsters. Oh my Gods you guys are breaking rules!"

"No we're not Travis! Now shut up for a minute and listen." Katie said hushed so no one else would hear her. "Chiron has Annabeth and the Hephaestus cabin working on a top secret project."

"What is it?" I asked.

"A cell-phone for demigods."

"Way cool." I whispered. "When do I get one?"

Abby laughed out loud at this, "Puh-lease. Do you know the risks Chiron would be taking if he gave you or your brother one of those phones? You both would be trying to make millions of dollars off of it in minutes." Katie laughed at her example.

"Uhhhhh." A loud groan came from one of the beds beyond the white curtain sheets that hid me.

"I better go check on that, be right back, hopefully. I don't know what I'm going to do if the ambrosia doesn't put them back to sleep." Abby said. She turned and shuffled out of the white tent that was my room.

"So…" Katie said awkwardly, now that Abby was gone the previous day's happenings were catching up.

"So…" I replied, just as awkwardly.

"Listen Travis, I just, um, kissed," Katie's face turned red at the word "kissed", "you yesterday, just too well, um, shut you up. Not because I like you or anything, just to get you to shut up."

"Oh." I said feeling as if my world had just been yanked out from beneath my feet, but I played it like I didn't mind. "Well, that's good." I said. "I mean because I don't like you either and I was afraid that would just, um, well, ruin our friendship…"

"Yeah," Katie said, "good." It was so obvious we were lying but neither of us would admit it. "Well," she said, "I'm going to leave, I um, have some strawberries to pick…" it was a lame excuse but I told her bye and she ran out. My stomach hurt even more now, and this time it wasn't from the spoiled strawberries, it was from an overdose of guilt.

"Yo bro!" An annoyingly perky voice broke my depressing train of thought. "What's happening? Gabby told me you were here!"

"Gabby?" I asked in confusion. "Do you mean Abby?"

"No." Connor said, and then he seemed to reconsider, "Yeah I'm pretty sure I meant Gabby."

I shook my head at him and laughed, "So why are you still here Connor? You look fine."

He dropped his voice to a whisper, "I'm trying to get Gabby to go out with me. She won't go with me! I mean no girl has ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever-"

"I get it. No girl has ever stood you up."

"You wouldn't get it; there are no girls to stand you up." I felt like telling him about my latest escapade with Katie, but some small part of me told me not to say anything, so I just nodded my head at him to go on.

"So, I'm not leaving this infirmary until, Gabby agrees to go out with me." Connor finished.

"Okay," I said, "are you sure you're actually okay? I've never seen you try this hard for a girl?"

"I don't know Trav," Connor said and sighed, "Gabby just confuses me."

"Okay." I said, "First things first her name, its Abby, and second if you're not sick…aren't they still giving you drugs to make you feel better, and since you're not sick or injured, isn't that dangerous?"

"I just throw them out the window by my bed." Connor replied, "And I really think you're wrong, her name's Gabby, not Abby."

"Bet you twenty drachmas," I said, "that her name is Abby, not Gabby."

"Deal." Connor said and reached across his bed to shake my hand.

"Hey Abby!" I yelled, "Can you come here for a second?" I called across the room.

In less than a minute, she had yanked the curtain across and was standing in the "doorway", "Abby here. What's up?"

"Give it here." I told Connor, he sighed and placed twenty drachmas in my fist.

"Hmph."

"What's up?"Abby asked.

I sorted out ten drachma and handed them to her, she didn't do anything, just held them in her palm as if they were explosives, "Are these going to blow up?" she asked, and I laughed and explained the situation to her.

"No Connor and I made a bet. He thought you're name was Gabby and I said Abby, so here's your cut."

She smiled and said, "See Connor, when you don't spend all your time making out with hot girls, you actually get to know people." I decided that this was not a wise time to mention that I only knew her name because Katie had said it when she had walked in. She turned on her left heel walking out of the room, pocketing the ten drachma.

"Oh! Wait!" she said, "Before I forget! Did Katie talk to you?"

"Yeah," I said, "we're just friends."

"Gonnor," she said sweetly.

"Yes?" He answered, to busy admiring her to notice she had said his name wrong

"Go away. I need to talk to Travis here."

"Kay." He said, he pulled the curtain back and crawled back into his bed.

"And put your ear plugs in!" She said.

"Fine." He groaned. After she was sure he had put them in she whirled on me.

"What do you mean 'just friends'?" Abby asked making air quotes around just friends.

"I mean 'just friends'." I replied imitating Abby by making air quotes around just friends.

"This is a prank right?" she said. "I mean she kissed you! You cannot seriously still be 'just friends'!" She waved her hands around to enunciate her point.

"Wait." I said, "How did you know that she kissed me?"

"Will inherited his father's big mouth." Abby replied running her hands though her hair.

"I'm going to kill him. "I said, but Abby was to busy talking to herself to notice.

She yanked open the curtain from my bed to Connor's and yanked his earplugs out. "Connor!" she yelled.

"Ouch!" he replied. "Geesh, you took the ear plugs out. No need to yell."

"I need you to watch the infirmary for a couple of minutes, while I go talk to someone. And since you're not actually sick, you're the prime candidate"

"You want me to watch the infirmary?" Connor asked shell-shocked, "But aren't you worried I'll torch it or something?"

"Yes." She said, "I am. But men are like dogs, so let's see if I'll offer you a treat what happens."

"What kind of treat?" Connor was to interested to be offended by the dog comment.

"If the infirmary still stands when I get back, and no one is complaining, I will go on one date with you. One. Are we clear?"

"Clear as a sunny day." Connor replied.

"Good." Abby said. "I'll be back!"

"I love you too honey!" Connor called and waved his hand after her.

"Goodbye Connor." She called. I could tell Abby was debating her choice already.

"I'm proud of you man, I really am." I said, "But there was two parts to this date thing, no one has to be complaing," I waved my hand as if to point at all the complaints being yelled out, "and the infirmary still has to stand." I pointed out to some boys with fireworks, outside of the infirmary

"Crap. Okay," he said, "but you're going to help me right?" Connor asked turning to me, I laughed.

"Tough luck bro. It's time for my twelve o'clock nap." I turned over and closed my eyes, and let the peace wash over me. Something Connor could not enjoy.

Break

When I woke up, Connor must have somehow managed to shut everyone up, because not a peep was coming from outside my walls.

Abby waltzed into my room, "Hey Travis. I thought I saw your shadow move, I'm glad you're awake. You can leave now."

"Cool." I said and hopped out of bed, "Where's Connor?"

Abby laughed quietly, and pulled aside the curtain next to Connor's bed. In the bed lay my brother, asleep, like he'd never slept before in his life. A drip of drool leaked from his mouth, I laughed.

"Thanks." I said to Abby and left the infirmary.

Outside the infirmary, it was bright and sunny. I could see Percy and Annabeth out by the beach, the Hunters were playing basketball against the Athena kids, even Nico was out on his porch, he was sleeping in a chair, but still, he was out. I walked over to him to tell him about the prank.

"Nico…" I said, I shook him lightly to try and wake him up. He was up in a minute, his stygian iron sword pointed at my throat, "J…ust me." I managed to choke out, he lowered his sword.

"Oh hey." He greeted me, I nodded and sat down next to him on the porch, because personally I did not want to go in the Hades Cabin, rumor has it that the second you enter, you're depressed, which would explain why that the only time you ever saw Nico inside of it was at lights out. "So what are we doing to the Hunters?" Nico asked.

"We are…" I said building up the excitement; Nico was totally going with it, "going to put itching powder in their stuff." His face fell.

"Itching powder?" He asked. "Didn't you already do that?"

"Yeah…" I said, "But this it'll be greater!" I said.

"I don't think so, deals off. Give me my money back." Nico said and held his hand out to me.

"What do you think we should do Mr. Good Ideas?" I said.

"Well," he began, "it's the Hunters, there are so many things we could do to them…" Nico looked a little evil as he said this, "Cutting their bowstrings or taking Thalia to a high place would be even worse. Or making it permanent daylight. Or surrounding them with boys! There are so many possibilities..." Nico looked a bit off as he said all this. (MUCCCCHHHHHHH THANKS TO WeDidItForTheDead for the ideas)

"Not bad." I said, I wasn't lying, he had some great ideas, "I like the cutting of the bowstrings the best."

"Can we do it?" Nico asked sounding like an over-excited six year old.

"What the Hell!" I said, "Why not! Let's do it now, the Hunters are distracted by their basketball game with the resident Athenians, I'll go grab the supplies and meet you in the Cabin, kay?" Nico nodded and raced off in the direction of the Artemis Cabin.

I on the other hand headed to my cabin. I had some supplies to get.

BREAK

I entered the Cabin, I looked around, I didn't see Nico anywhere.

"Nico?" I whispered.

"Over here." A voice replied, I looked to where the voice was coming from and saw Nico.

Wedged in between the window and the windowsill.

I couldn't help it. I cracked up.

"Shut up!" Nico hissed turning the color of a tomato. "Just get me out of here!" He demanded.

"Can't you just shadow travel?" I asked, Nico though about it and finally decided to try it.

He appeared right next to me.

"I was right!" I said raising my hand in mock triumph.

"Shut up." Nico said butt he couldn't help it, he bust up laughing too.

"Let's get started." I said. I handed Nico a pair of scissors and a tub of white powder.

"What's this?" He asked.

"Itching powder." I replied, "Feel free to spread it wherever you want." He rolled his eyes but didn't refuse. So for the next half-hour we snipped, poured, snipped, and poured some more, until we thought we had done enough damage for the day.

Nico shadow traveled us out of there and just in enough time to see the Hunters approaching the Cabin, laughing. In a good mood, that was not going to be true for much longer.

Nico and me bolted out of there, he ran a different way than me. I ran torward the beach, I think he went back to his cabin. I barreled straight into Percy and Annabeth who were coming up from the beach.

"Oh hey Travis." Percy greeted me. Annabeth smiled at me.

"I was just about to come looking for you, see Chiron is having Annabeth and me choose a few demigods to go into New York the day before the Summer Solstice and hang out, we were wondering if you wanted to come with us?" Percy asked.

"Sure." I replied and checked over my shoulder.

"Travis are you alright?" Annabeth asked me.

"Yeah, when is it?" I asked and checked over my shoulder again.

"Tomorrow." Annabeth answered, "Travis are you okay? Why do you you keep looking over your shoulder?"

Just as I was thinking of some really lame excuse for why I was looking over my shoulder, a voice bellowed, "STOLL! YOU ARE SOOOOOO DEAD!" I looked over my shoulder to see a pack of hunters with Thalia at the lead, and she was fuming mad.

I decided it was best not to stick around. "Gotta go!" I told Percy and Annabeth, "Bye, thanks for inviting me!"

I started to bolt but had one last thought, so I turned back, "Attend my funeral please. Tell everyone bye, make sure I'm remembered as a good person; make sure-"Annabeth cut me off.

"Travis," she said.

"Yeah," I asked expecting some words of encouragement.

"You should probably run."

I looked behind me and saw she was right the Hunters were getting closer by the minute, I took off again but not without shouting behind=d me, my possible last words ever,

"DON'T FORGET TO ATTEND MY FUNERAL!"

Poor, poor Travis. He just doesn't know when to give up…Tsk tsk.

I'm saddened to announce that there will only be about two/three more chapters left. *SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB* Okay, I have recollected myself, now I have a question for you guys:

How do you feel about a sequel? Would you read it? Tell me in your review!

Death, endings, new beginnings, (this is dedicated to the beginning of the end),

~Wisegirl~

P.S. I'm thinking of changing my name after I finish this story, what do you think of that?
